General Functions
Motilin
- The general functions of hormones are to regulate anything in the body.
- Our hormone is produced to help regulate the gastrointestinal tract by emptying it out.
Specifically our hormone is produced in the small intestine and also effects the small intestine. It is produced in between meals to move food along your intestinal tract. It also contracts the gallbladder and Pyloric sphincter. Motilin is also known as "The house keeper of the gut" because it improves peristalsis. The receptors are found just inside by the Pyloric Sphincter.

Real Life
Motilin can be related to real life because of the effects that it can have if you have a Motilin imbalance. The stomach cramps and diarrhea that can be caused by IBS is not a good thing. And if you get IBS that usually means that you are stressed or maybe dealing with depression. Both these effect your Motilin balance and in turn will effect your life.

Nervous Impact
Motilin does not effect the nervous system in any way. But the nervous system helps tell when Motilin needs to be released and when it needs to stop being released. Neuron receptors sense when the intestines need to be emptied and release Motilin then to start the process. And then just the opposite when it needs to stop the process.
